Maintenance & Operations Department
What is Maintenance?
The necessary upkeep of existing facilities. This includes buildings, their associated environmental systems such as heating or cooling plants, and surrounding landscaped grounds and playfields. Some examples of maintenance work are the repair of broken windows, replacing of air filters, changing light ballasts, and sealcoating of parking lots.
What is Capital Improvement?
Changes and/or additions to the building structure, systems and grounds. Some examples of capital improvement work are the installation of new walls and doors to make an office, new electrical systems to support a computer lab and adding new equipment.
Why make the distinction?
The funding for maintenance work comes from the district general fund through the Maintenance Department budget. Capital improvements are funded by the individual site budgets or by monies approved by the voters for this purpose, such as our 2008 School Faciliites Bond. Any Maintenance Department funding of capital improvements comes at the expense of ongoing maintenance work.
How do I request maintenance work?
If an emergency exists (defined as a situation that affects the life or safety of students and staff, or causes disruption to the educational process), call the Maintenance Department at 522-2255 and follow up with a work request through the Work Order System. Immediate action will be taken. Non-emergency items shall be addressed through the use of the Work Order System. Fill out the Work Order with as much detail as possible. Once received, the request will be assigned and scheduled for completion. Do not phone in non-emergency work orders.
How do I request capital improvement work?
Use the Work Order System, Provides as much detail as possible and provide the budget account code to be charged. This will also be sent to the Director of Facilities. Work will be scheduled as above.
What if I do not have funding for a capital improvement project?
Periodically, the Director of Facilities and Chief Business Officer will meet to discuss capital improvement requests that may need additional funding. These requests are reviewed, prioritized and accomplished as budgets allow.

Peep my super sleek blowout, courtesy of Emma H at Cutler Salon in NYC. Isn't it amazin'? I'm glowing!
I was waltzing around the city that day thinkin' I was too cute. You couldn't tell me nothin'.
Emma tamed my tresses with a T3 hairdryer and flat iron, and polished it off with a little of Redken's Sleek Obedience Anti-Frizz Solid Serum – a pomade that she recommended I invest in.
Another reason to love Emma? She talked me out of cutting my bangs, suggesting that I simply switch my part from the left to the right side. And she was right. I don't know what kind of optical illusion it creates, but my hair looks 10 times more flattering, and it actually makes my face look thinner. And isn't that the ultimate goal?
If I lived in New York, I would definitely be scheduling bi-weekly visits with Emma. In fact, I think I might just make an appointment for September when I return. Can't be looking a hot mess at Fashion Week.
Oh, and did I mention that Emma does Rachael Ray's hair?

Bill Sebastian is the founder of Visual Music Systems, which is developing technology to make music a fully visual experience.
For years, the 1970s-era OVC lay ignored in the backyard of Sebastian's home in Falmouth.
Sebastian has been working in a Boston office on his invention's digital successor, which visualizes music three-dimensionally.
The optical synthesizer called the Outerspace Visual Communicator, or OVC.
The new synthesizer is his second attempt to take "the most powerful art form, music, and make it available to our most powerful sense, which is vision," Sebastian said.
Sebastian plays down the notion that he's a synesthete, that is, someone who "sees" or experiences sound as color.
Sebastian is well aware the concept can sound baffling, and more than a little nutty, to a skeptical audience.
"My theory is, if you get people to use their minds differently, they'll look at the world differently," he said.
"It could be a pretty phenomenal experience for the human race," he said. "That's the thing you hope for."

DrHGuy Finds Anjani And Blue Alert
In many ways, it was a day like any other. While browsing for merchandise at Amazon to nudge my total order over the $25 criterion to qualify for that all-important free shipping, I happened onto Blue Alert, the album by Anjani Thomas that I recalled had received some coverage in the pop music press because it was produced by Leonard Cohen. Being a full-fledged member of the Cohen cohort, I had casually planned to check it out and this accidental encounter seemed a serendipitous opportunity.
But you know how these set-ups never work out. Your best friend in high school introduces you to his cousin from Kansas City so you go out a few times but never really click. Then you go out a few more times and before you know it, you marry her – and then your life descends into a living hell that makes you long for the sweet release only death can bring. For example.
But hope, as it is wont to do, springs eternal so I was thought it was possible that Anjani and I might have a few laughs together in the form of three or four tracks enjoyable enough to justify transferring ten bucks from me to Jeff Bezos. Admittedly, I was only looking for a good time, not a long term relationship. But, hey, she was hanging out with Leonard Cohen so she was probably into that sort of thing, right?
Then, my interest was piqued by a phrase from Amazon's Editorial Review of the album, which described Blue Alert as
… a collection of gentle music tinged with styles ranging from Holly Cole to Tanita Tikaram
As it turns out, folks in proximity to me for more than 20 minutes are at substantial risk of being subjected to my adulation of Tanita – if they have survived my even more fervid adoration of Holly.1 When I read that implicit grouping of Anjani, Holly, and Tanita, my mind raced to the obvious conclusion – that's right, I'm thinking foursome.
Why You're Going To Want To Kiss Me2
My jejune sexual fantasies notwithstanding, this is music that is lovely, intricate, and intoxicating.
Many reviewers use adjectives such as "gentle," "mellow," and "low [amplitude]," to describe this album. It is true that one is unlikely to mistake Anjani's contralto singing for a performance by Judas Priest or Iron Maiden. Such characterizations, however, are misleading in that they connote a semi-jazzy CD one plays as background music when the boss comes for dinner because it's unobtrusive.
Such a categorization would be a tragedy. This is, in fact, an album that deserves to be played, especially the first time, when one has the time and psychological energy to hear the music and listen to the lyrics. Lord, now I'm making it sound like an intellectual task or, worse, an assignment. Let me reframe that: You (and you know who you are) deserve to listen to this album, especially the first time, when you have the time and psychological energy to hear the music and listen to the lyrics. Anyone that knows me knows that this is not a suggestion I make casually. (While I'm writing this post, for example, I'm also auditioning some new songs from a group called Let's Be Honeys, checking CNN Headline News, and monitoring the clock to assure that I roust the offspring for chores in timely fashion.)
Lenny & Anji
OK, I know you're wondering so let's get it out of the way. It's no secret (heck, even the Knight Ridder News Service knows it) that she was a keyboardist and backup singer for Cohen for 14 years and, yep, his lover for six of those years.
The tipping point for making this album, according to Anjani, came after she finished a vocal of one of Cohen's songs; then, "Leonard said to me, 'Now, could you sing it like you're devastated on a shore with nothing left to give?"3 Anjani goes on that "All my tools went out the window, I actually was devastated at that point. Then the vocal just came out."
Well, thank goodness she was devastated. The official Amazon blurb tells the rest of the story
After finding a few lines of Cohen's handwritten lyrics lying on his desk one day (specifically "there's perfume burning in the air/bits of beauty everywhere"), Anjani was not just drawn to them, the words inspired her to write a song in their honor ("Blue Alert"). After hearing the result, the Order of Canada-winning poet was so impressed that he eventually allowed her the chance to cull through both his published and unpublished works for additional lyrics.
The Music
In any case, Anjani's husky, lovely voice and Cohen's new (or previously unrecorded) lyrics4 are a perfect fit.
While Blue Alert stands independently as an album and is wonderful as an isolated phenomenon, it is enriched if the listener has some experience with Cohen's own performances of his work. There is an obvious contrast between Anjani's assured voice and Cohen's. One of Cohen's saving graces is his straightforward recognition and acknowledgment of the quality of his vocalizations, which he distinguishes as "a different kind of activity" than singing. Yet, it seems to me that the honesty of Anjani's voice evokes Cohen's own. (Oops, I'm not the only one. In skimming for another factoid, I just found this, arguably more poetic, quote from Brian Johnson, "And though Cohen doesn't sing a note on the album, his voice permeates it like smoke." Yeah, what he said.)
In addition, many of the motifs, metaphors, and metaphysics from Cohen's earlier corpus are, unsurprisingly, prominent in Blue Alert. "[I] Had to do time in the tower" from "Crazy To Love You," for example, echoes the lines from Cohen's "Tower Of Song," and "Thanks For The Dance" is reminiscent of "Dance Me To The End Of Love" and, to my ears at least, seems almost a direct response to "Do I Have To Dance All Night" (See The Best Leonard Cohen Song You've (Probably) Never Heard)
Love is, indeed, the focus of Blue Alert, and Cohen's words are of a piece with the sensibilities of his earlier work. He is ambiguous and ambivalent but never ambagious. Love is everything and not enough to save us. And the sex is good, too.
Enough blathering.
Some of the lyrics are so damn good, I can't think of a better way to close than to list a few lines unencumbered by my annotations.
From "Blue Alert"
Visions of her drawing near
Arise, abide, and disappear
You try to slow it down; it doesn't work
It's just another night I guess
All tangled up in nakedness
You even touch yourself
You're such a flirt
Blue Alert
From "Half The Perfect World"
Transparent, weightless, luminous
Uncovering the two of us
On that fundamental ground
Where love's unwilled, unleashed
And half the perfect world is found
From "The Mist"
As many nights endure
Without a moon or star
So will we endure
When one is gone and far
"Thanks For The Dance"
Thanks for the dance
I'm sorry you're tired
The evening has hardly begun
Thanks for the dance
Try to look inspired
One two three, one two three one
And there's nothing to do
But to wonder if you
Are as hopeless as me
And as decent
We're joined in the spirit
Joined at the hip
Joined in the panic
Wondering if
We've come to some sort
Of agreement
So, listen to a song or two.

Anjani and Anjani Thomas: An Aside On Names
Anjani and Anjani Thomas are, for the purposes of the Heck of a Guy blog, synonymous names, both of which refer to the exotically lovely, dulcet-voiced singer best known for her Blue Alert CD and her long-term relationship with Leonard Cohen. I include this clarification on posts about Anjani-Anjani Thomas in part for the purpose of what the folks at Wikipedia call disambiguation (i.e., to positively identify for the reader and remove any doubts the reader might have about which Anjani of all the possible Anjanis is being discussed) and in part to aid and abet the search engines. While a rose is, famously, a rose is a rose, a "tea rose," for example, is not exactly the same as a "rose" – especially to a search engine. Searches that include "Anjani" as part of the search terms may not produce the same results as the same search terms other with "Anjani Thomas" substituted for "Anjani." Should any other Anjani, say one who has not produced a CD called "Blue Alert" or one who has not been associated with Leonard Cohen for the decade, I promise to do my best to make that identification clear as well.
- Both Holly Cole and Tanita Tikaram are subjects worthy of their own posts. And DrHGuy has not forgotten his promise/threat to post features about Leonard Cohen, the uses of poetry, and other topics, not to mention such thus far unmentioned but worthy themes as the comparative analysis of Paul Simon Vs Simon & Garfunkel, the list of female singers I want to sleep with even though I know they would hurt me and the chance of Tina Turner spending the night with me approximates zilch, the comfort and strength embedded in the poems of A.E. Housman, and the improbability of an adult American woman wearing a correctly sized bra unless she has been fitted for one by a lady of a certain age who speaks with a distinctive foreign accent. So much to blog, so little time. [↩]
- "Kiss" in this setting is a statistical representation. This recommendation will evoke in some readers no more than a shrug of the shoulders while others will respond not only with kisses but with caresses, fondling, and maybe a bit of making out in addition. It will average out to a kiss. [↩]
- I guess she didn't know that Lenny is always saying stuff like that, just goofing around [↩]
- Nightingale, the one previously recorded track, first appeared on Dear Heather but has been completely restructured and stripped of much gratuitous instrumental accompaniment, sounding as though it was were new [↩]

Take your bike skills from cruising to race-ready with these tips.
The simple act of pedaling a bike is easy enough to pick up even after years away ("just like riding a bike," right?). The difficulty comes in turning your leisurely riding into a race effort. In order to improve, you need to shift your mind-set from laid-back, easy riding to training with intention. Follow these guidelines to get ready for the bike leg of your first race.
Ride more frequently.
Time in the saddle is the first step to building your fitness. If you're only riding one day a week for an hour right now, make that twice a week for the next couple of weeks and work up to three times per week. From there you can make your individual rides longer and/or add some higher-effort intervals.

BEIJING (AP) — The conflict in Syria cannot be resolved by military means and the EU is working hard to bring about a negotiated political solution, EU President Herman Van Rompuy said Thursday.
Van Rompuy spoke following an EU-China summit in Beijing at which Syria and other international issues were discussed. He said China, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has a role to play in formulating actions to mitigate the conflict such as the destruction of chemical weapons.
"There is no military solution for this conflict," Van Rompuy said.
The EU has spent 2 billion euros ($2.68 billion) since 2011 on relief for refugees of the conflict, which has displaced millions of people, Van Rompuy said. China has been criticized for blocking harsher action by the U.N. that could lead to the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad and has provided much more modest humanitarian assistance.
Van Rompuy said he discussed with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang ways to "take a more active role together in securing international development" to alleviate conflicts.
Van Rompuy said China is already working closely with the EU on the Iranian nuclear issue. He said the sides also discussed the need to restore stability in North Africa, Mali and the Sahel to fight organized crime and terrorism.
The one-day summit also focused heavily on boosting trade and investment. The EU is China's largest trading partner, and China is the EU's second largest trading partner after the United States.
That included a new focus on cooperation as China's rural population moves increasingly to the cities. Li addressed more than 1,000 entrepreneurs, officials and city planners at a joint EU-China forum on the topic on Thursday, telling them of the need to borrow ideas and experience from urbanized countries and the potential for "huge business opportunities."

Linebacker-tight end Kevin Crosby Jr. of Bamberg Ehrhardt has scrapped his top three and his favorite and is starting over.
According to his father and coach Butch Crosby, Junior now has a top five, in no order, of South Carolina, Clemson, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina. Previously Crosby was favoring USC ahead of Alabama and Clemson.
Crosby visited Alabama on Saturday for a junior day and met with Nick Saban and other coaches.
"They seem him as an athlete, a linebacker, H-Back, tight end," Coach Crosby said. "They haven't made a decision (on a position) but they said they really like him."
Crosby Jr. will attend Clemson's junior day this Saturday and will go to Florida on March 16. He plans to visit USC for a home basketball game.
Coach Crosby said a key for his son is the position a school wants him to play.
"Florida coaches came down and met with the coaches and watched the tape and said where they want to use him," Coach Crosby said. "Florida jumped on the radar. Florida was like, we need you at this spot. They did a great job. They made a big push in the top five. North Carolina also came in. Notre Dame has been in. Steve Spurrier is coming in Friday. Dabo Swinney was the first coach to come in."
USC and Clemson like Crosby Jr. as a tight end.
Crosby Jr. has been invited to the major all star games and right now plans to play in the Under Armour Game where his father will be one of the coaches.

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the grated onion, salt, pepper, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
Make a roux by adding the flour and whisk until smooth; whisking constantly, until the mixture is a light golden brown. Continue whisking; add the beer and half and half and cook until smooth; let simmer until thickened; add the cream cheese and whisk until completely smooth
Reduce heat to low; while stirring, add the cheese, reserving ¾ cup of the Parmesan for topping the casserole; continue stirring. Once smooth turn off the heat and fold in the cooked pasta.
Turn the mixture out into the prepared casserole pan and sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan cheese; sprinkle the crushed Pretzel Pieces over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.

5/3/1: Cycle One, Week Three, Day One
Loadable Assistance Template
Fads come and go, but the barbell remains the same. Respect it accordingly. - Jim Wendler
Rough estimation. I had Chipotle for my post-work out meal.
Working nights has been killing my attempts to eat more. I eat as much and as close to my 5:00 p.m. clock-in time as possible and then, for the next 6.5 to 7 hours, I'm on my feet and moving around (and carrying things) without any food until I clock out. Couple this with the fact that I've gone back to training after work because the gym is less crowded and I go about 8.5-9 hours without a substantial meal. Since hunger has been through the roof, eating right after training isn't the issue and neither is eating again within the hour following. It's trying to eat after that or large amounts of food at once that I've found problematic - I'm either too full or exhausted to do much of anything other than eating a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Of course, these are all excuses - I shouldn't be complaining about needing to eat more food when there are people who are doing bodybuilding contest prep and only getting 1,200 calories a day and there's no way my maintenance is only 2,000 these days. It's simply a matter of getting enough sleep, staying hydrated throughout the day, eating twice before work, once in between my shift and the gym, and then twice again when I get home. It's not brain surgery - it just requires more effort on my part and I need to man the fuck up about it.
Warm-up: Cycle, hip flexors, hip circles, stretching, foam rolling, light leg extensions.
Barbell squat
80x5; 100x5
120x5; 140x3; 155x10 (PR)
Seriously considering resetting my max to lower on the next cycle and working my way back up to this kind of weight. Depth was dodgy even at 140 and my hips have no been happy with how wide my stance is recently.
Stiff-legged deadlifts
70x10; 80x10; 90x10
These felt way too light but that's the point, I suppose.
Back raises
Using the bar for good mornings is not going to be an issue - these felt great.
Leg curls
Hanging leg raises
Wanted to get a little bit of abdominal work in but nothing major.

AutoCodesOBDII Code ListP0430 2005 NISSAN MURANO
P0430 2005 NISSAN MURANO - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2
Possible causes
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 2
- Exhaust tube
- Intake air leaks
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Fuel injector leaks
- Spark plugs may be faulty
- Improper ignition timing
- Engine Control Module (ECM)
Tech notes
As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle's control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.
When is the code detected?
- Three way catalytic converter Bank 1 does not operate properly.
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 1 does not have enough oxygen storage capacity.
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 1 does not have enough oxygen storage capacity.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0430 2005 NISSAN MURANO Description
A three way catalyst converter (Manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2. As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2 switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 and 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst malfunction is diagnosed.

I've allready declared here a couple of times my absolute love for ice-creams. So can you imagine how happy I was to be hired by an Ice-cream Factory to create some desserts for their website?! The job was to help with the new flavours they wanted to launch for the Summer and create a dessert, so it involved a lot of painfull ice-cream tasting!...
The real problem I had with all this was that I couldn't get over the fact that I was being payed to do this. I mean, this people were actually giving me money to eat my favourite food! Crazy people...They asked for simple desserts, nothing to complicated, just some ideas to complement the ice-creams. I don't think it would be good work ethic to give you the ice-cream recipes but I can share the ideas with you. We just had the photographer coming and taking nice pictures, but these were the ones I managed to take with my camera:
- a) Dulce de leche ice-cream and chocolate cookies sandwiches.
- b) Roasted peaches with pistachio ice-cream
- c) Summer fruits salad with balsamic vinegar ice-cream and lemon sorbet
- d) Strawberry ice-cream and strawberry-champagne sorbet tart
And here's the photographer getting a shot of what I called "Ice-cream for breakfast": Yougurt ice-cream with muesli and honey.
Tips for taking pictures of Ice-cream
- Freeze the dish or bowl you're going to use and an extra dish
- Scoop the ice cream and put it on the reserved extra dish you had in the freezer
- Cover slighty with plastic wrap and return to the freezer (you can make this well in advance)
- Arrange the cenario of the picture and get everything ready
- Plate the rest of the ingredients (if using) on the frozen dish or bowl and put in place
- Lastly get the ice-cream balls and place them on the "serving" dish
- Shoot nice pictures

This one book fell flat...
I feel like this book was rushed and there was no actually story line to this book. Normally, I adore Lauren Dane's books but this one just bored me. I'm hesitant to continue with this series now.

By 🔹🔹🔹CAROLYN 🔹🔹🔹 on 07-20-13
Firstly, let me say that I've loved all the previous books in this series but somehow this book just didn't 'grab me' like the others did. Now, I don't know whether it's because I've listened to some great books this month, or perhaps I just wasn't really in the right frame of mind to appreciate it and should have chosen one of my other loves - a paranormal, or historical romance instead. However, I didn't so here goes...
Marc, another all too handsome Chase brother and player, has thoughts of 'going steady' one day when he takes a long 'hard' look at Liv (his brother's ex) and goes about convincing her that he's a changed man (well good luck with that) then when he kisses her he realises he wants it all. Liv want's to settle down but doesn't believe him, although she dates him, has lots of hot sex with him, there's plenty of sexual chemistry and joint attraction and he tells her, and shows her, over and over and over again that he's serious (poor guy's throat and pecker were worn out).
The problem (for me) - it was sooo repetitive - just everyone was always and forever saying to Liv that he loves her and she loves him and that it's in the way they look at each other, and Marc, who was so nice, patient and thoughtful, does absolutely everything possible to show her that he's 100% serious but she's not really convinced. So on and on and on and on (well you get the picture) went the 'how long will this doomed relationship last' attitude, together with other reasons why Liv thinks it'll never work, that I didn't have that all important 'feel good' factor or the anticipation whilst listening and felt it was more of a battle than a romance. I understand why Liv feels this way but, apart from a few touching tender moments, this listen was... dare I say it, a bit boring and when it thankfully ended I thought "thank God it's finally over".
To end on a positive note - it was good to catch up with the lives of the other Chase brothers, their partners and the ever growing family.
Worth a credit? If it was a stand-alone listen then I would have to say No but, because I am committed to the Chase brothers, then it's got to be a Yes.

Penn-Yale-Princeton Held in N.J.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs will be returning to Princeton, N.J., for the second weekend in a row to compete in the annual Penn-Yale-Princeton tri-meet. This will be the Yale women's first small meet against league rivals, and it will be an interesting gauge of how the team can compete.
Last year, the tri-meet was held at Yale the day after the Yale-Harvard vs. Oxford-Cambridge competition, and so the team was not at its full strength. This year the team is coming off a very successful weekend, when Yale posted several wins and ECAC qualifications. The Bulldogs have a good idea of how the Princeton team will compete after last weekend.
Junior Kate Grace won the 1,500-meter run and set a new school record at 4:24.57, which qualified her for NCAA Regionals as well as ECACs. Grace also won the 800-meter run in 2:09.94, far ahead of the two Princeton runners behind her. She was two seconds under the qualifying time for ECACs, but .14 seconds above the NCAA qualifying time in this event. She will be a force to contend with in any distance she competes in this weekend.
Sophomore Anne Lovelace won the steeplechase in 10:40.94, which was a huge personal best. This qualified her for both NCAA Regionals and ECACs. Senior Claudia Duncan won the 400-meter dash in 55.44, which qualified her for ECACs and was a PR. Duncan is also an impressive shorter-distance runner. Senior Alexandra Cadicamo qualified for the ECACs in the 5,000-meter run (16:56.26).
The relay teams had some tough competition last weekend, but both the 4x100 and 4x400-meter teams finished under the ECAC-qualifying time. They will look to improve their performances and try different combinations of team members as they continue to compete.
Sprinters to look for include freshman Adele Jackson-Gibson and the sophomore trio of Marieme Mbaye, Alexa Monti and Emily Shulan, who all finished in a pack in their races last weekend.
Freshman Dakota McCoy is competing for Yale in the 400-meter hurdles, and freshman Allison Rue is a strong force in middle and short distances. Freshman Annalies Gamble is also a strong middle distance runner who could surprise her competition.
Field events will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and running events will begin at 3 p.m. A schedule of events can be found here. Results will be posted on YaleBulldogs.com at the end of the day.

Watch Aziz Ansari-Reggie Watts's Sandwiches Duet
Ansari plays himself. Watts plays a vegan female who's considering eating cheese.
Comedy Bang! Bang! is able to get particularly huge guests (Jessica Alba, Zach Galifianakis, and Anna Kendrick are among those scheduled for season two) and to get the most out of them, they also have some shoot impromptu, improvised musical interludes with CBB's Reggie Watts in a web series called "Reggie Makes Music." Last year's "RMM"s included Jon Hamm singing about Taxi, Amy Poehler dancing in a blonde wig, and Paul Rudd's soft-rock ballad. So with the new season of Comedy Bang! Bang! set to premiere on July 12, there is a new season of "RMM," which will include Gillian Jacobs, Andy Samberg, Sarah Silverman, and more. Vulture exclusively has the premiere, in which Aziz Ansari and Reggie Watts duet about going on a sandwich date. But there's a twist: She's vegan. (Also, she looks like Reggie Watts.)

Room 32By D. R. Haney
October 01, 2013
The idea, I thought, was a simple one: rent for a night the West Hollywood motel room where Jim Morrison lived on and off for three years, hold a séance with a few friends, and afterward throw a party. It seemed a fitting homage to Morrison, a party-hardy mystic who believed himself possessed by the spirit of a Pueblo Indian he had seen as a boy while traveling through New Mexico and happening upon the aftermath of a deadly accident. Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding, he famously wrote of the incident in "Newborn Awakening," his poem set to music by his band, the Doors, seven years after he died. Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.

Icelandic Government prepares to submit the Icesave legislation for approval by national referendum and remains fully committed to honor Iceland's obligations with respect to depositor's insur
- A referendum is expected to take place late February.
- The Government of Iceland remains fully committed to implementing the bilateral loan agreements with the UK and the Netherlands.
- The Government views the loan agreements with the UK and the Netherlands as an integral part of Iceland's economic program.
The Government of Iceland has decided to hold a national referendum on the so-called Icesave legislation, following broad consultations with both coalition and opposition parties as well as employers' associations and labor unions. The referendum is expected to take place late February.
As stated yesterday by Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir, the Government of Iceland remains fully committed to implementing the bilateral loan agreements with the UK and the Netherlands and thus the state guarantee provided for by the law. Iceland has been in close contact with the Governments of the UK and the Netherlands, other partner countries and the EU and the IMF, to inform counterparties about the latest developments and explain the process triggered by the decision announced by the President on Tuesday.
The Government views the loan agreements with the UK and the Netherlands as an integral part of Iceland's economic program. The government's economic recovery plan, developed in cooperation with and supported by the International Monetary Fund and with financing from the IMF and governments of the Nordic countries and Poland, remains in effect.
Numerous important steps have been taken in recent months towards rebuilding confidence in the Icelandic economy and establishing a clear path towards renewed economic growth.
- An ambitious austerity program has been adopted, which will ensure the attainment of the government's goal of balanced budget by 2013 through both spending cuts and tax hikes.
- The commercial banking system has been fully capitalised and an extensive revision of the financial market regulatory framework is being carried out.
- Major debt restructuring is ongoing for individuals and firms.
- Various initiatives to guarantee partial payment relief for households have been adopted.
- Legislation was adopted giving access to tax sheltered voluntary pension savings in order to increase households' spending power.
- The Central Bank has taken first steps towards lifting capital controls.
The so-called Icesave legislation, approved by a majority of the Icelandic Parliament on 30 December 2009, authorises the Minister of Finance to issue a state guarantee for repayment of loans provided by the UK and the Netherlands to the Icelandic Depositors' and Investors' Guarantee Fund, intended to cover payment of the minimum deposit guarantees to depositors in the UK and Netherlands branches of a failed private bank, Landsbanki Islands hf.
Yesterday, the President of Iceland declined to sign the law according to Article 26 of the Icelandic Constitution and referred the matter to a national referendum. The Icelandic Parliament has been called into session on Friday 8 January 2009 to debate and to pass a legislation on the timing and organization of the national referendum as these specifics are not provided for by the Constitution.
In spite of the President's deferment of the Icesave legislation, it has nevertheless taken effect, but Article 26 requires the law to be submitted to a vote by secret ballot of all eligible voters, to be approved or rejected by a simple majority. The law shall become null and void if rejected, but otherwise remains in force. The provision was adopted into the Constitution when the Republic was established in 1944, but had not been made use of until 2004, when the current President rejected for the first time in history a legislation limiting the concentration of media ownership. That legislation was later repealed by the Parliament and a referendum never took place.

Florida Life - Lifestyle
Ski Slope Formulas
Jimmy Tate, 49
President, co-owner - Tate Capital - Miami
For generations, the Tate family has developed, built and managed more than 12,000 residences in the U.S., and developed, operated and managed about 2 million square feet of retail and office space, hotels/casinos, golf courses, buildings, motels and industrial parks throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean. But when it comes to time off, Jimmy Tate likes to hit the slopes. "I started skiing when I was 9 and started snowboarding about 10 years ago," says Tate, who usually plans three trips a year to indulge his passion. "Other than cliffs and avalanche chutes, there's not much terrain I can't ski well or board."
Favorite spots: Snowmass in Colorado, the slopes of France and the Swiss Alps.
Rolling in the deep: "I was snowboarding in Snowmass through the trees with my daughter. She is an expert snow boarder. I followed her into the trees thinking it was just deep powder and easy terrain. Within seconds, she was gone and I was left in the dust. Then I fell, and the snow was so deep I couldn't push myself up. Meanwhile, my daughter finally realized that I was not behind her, so she started screaming my name. She called the ski patrol, and they came to get me. I told them that it was stupid of me to go so deep into the woods in these conditions. They laughed. I didn't understand the humor until they helped me up and pulled me about 15 yards, at which point I was back on the groomed slope. So much for being lost and in serious trouble. My daughter was laughing to the point of tears."
Warren Zinn, 55
President, CEO - Warren Henry Auto Group - Miami Beach
Warren Henry Zinn has been skiing since 1978 — almost as long as he's been in the automotive industry, building his nine franchises (Lamborghini, Jaguar, Land Rover, Infiniti, Volvo, Subaru and Fisker) from Miami-Dade to Ocala. "I'd rate myself a notch below expert," says Zinn, who takes ski trips about twice a year.
Favorite spot: Vail, Colo.
On the to-ski list: Kitzbühel, Austria. "I'd also like to ski any of the international destinations that have hosted the winter Olympics, like Turin, Italy, and Vancouver, Canada."
Pole position: "I skied in the American Ski Classic, a pro-am ski event, in Vail for several years. One year I fell and took a ski pole to my mouth and nose, which was a bit embarrassing. The following year, however, I won five out of five races and came out on top."
Susan Snodgrass, 61
M.D., associate professor of radiology - University of Florida - Jacksonville
Susan Snodgrass is a self-described "late-start" skier, taking up the sport at 37 because she wanted her then 4-year-old son to learn how to ski and develop a passion for the sport. "He ended up loving snowboarding instead," she says.
Favorite spot: She and her family head to Snowmass in Colorado once or twice a year.
On the to-ski list: Gstaad, Switzerland. "My husband has skied there numerous times and talks of how wonderful it is."
Fiasco: "Many years ago, while going down a partially groomed run, I got very frightened, as I seemed to be picking up too much speed. I spotted a huge clump of snow down and to the right, and, thinking it would slow me down, turned and skied right into it. Sadly, it wasn't packed snow, but a loose clump. I picked up more speed, lost my balance, spun around numerous times on my back and side, and went full force with my hip directly into a huge tree stump. It was the worst experience for obvious reasons, but also because it was the first day of our vacation."

Raiders outplay Chucks for 2-1 win in boys' soccer
PUNXSUTAWNEY – When you don't play your best the outcome is not usually good. The Punxsy boys' soccer team found this scenario out on Thursday afternoon when they were outplayed by Brookville in a 2-1 home loss.
"They wanted it more than we did," said frankly Chucks' coach Phil Shenkle. "You can't have one team want it and the other not or you lose."
Tied 1-1 for more than 41 minutes, the Raiders' Leland Mowery took a ball hit to the far right flat. With a defender in front of him, Mowery unleashed a 25-yard hooking shot that found its way into the upper left corner of the goal for the 2-1 Brookville lead at 57:03.
With 10:33 left, Punxsy's Trevor Peace booted a free kick but teammate Kevin Hughes' attempted header went off to the left side of goal.
The Chucks had two more potential game-tying scoring chances in the final 2:18. On a corner kick, Tanner Evans received a kick by a Raider defender, who tried to kick it away to the back of the Chucks' defense. Centerback Mike Pascuzzo took the kicked ball and tried to answer with his own 35-yard booming shot, which Brookville goalie Taylor Cudworth snatched, and Punxsy's hopes to tie the game vanished out of the air to keep the soon-after final at 2-1.
"We just had nothing. We didn't have it in our legs or in any way," concluded Shenkle.
Five minutes into the contest, Ryan Presloid took a Ty Zimmerman pass in the six-yard box, dribbled a couple times and fired the ball into the net for a 1-0 Punxsy lead.
At 25:52, Mowery booted a shot that hit off a Chucks' defender and into the home net to tie the contest, 1-1.
Punxsy outshot Brookville in each half and for the game at 10-7.
The Chucks will be off until hosting the Crusaders of Elk County next Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Apple Using Special New Screws So You Can't Open Your iPhone
from the screw-you dept
One of the interesting questions we've been looking at for years is whether or not a business is an enabler or a gatekeeper. Being in the gatekeeper business can work for a period of time, but it's often difficult to sustain. Apple is an interesting company in that it certainly has elements of both, enabling in some areas, but being a very strict gatekeeper in other areas. As if to reinforce this point, Apple is apparently changing the screws on iPhones to make them much harder to open. Apparently, it's come up with a "pentalobe" design:
Not only that, but if you bring in your iPhone for repairs, Apple will replace the old screws with these new pentalobe screws to keep you from... well... screwing around. The whole thing seems really incredibly pointless. First of all, those who really want to open the phones will figure out ways to do so. I would guess that it won't take long for tools that work on such screws to hit the market. All this really does is frustrate iPhone owners by making life difficult for them. What possible good does it serve to have a non-standard screw system?

Once we returned to America, Mr. Hungarian took me to a restaurant in San Francisco, called "Paprikas Fono". It was located at Ghirardelli Square, and we loved two of their dishes so much that I continued to make pilgrimages to the restaurant--even after the relationship ended. Because my mother was born and raised in Bavaria--and her hometown is just a stone's throw from Salzburg, Austria-- I could detect similarities with a commonly used spice... paprika. One of the two dishes was a rich and flavorful "Gulyas Soup", that was served with lángos bread, with fresh cloves of garlic rubbed all over it. Divine. (My brother, clearly, remembers coming with me, to find out what I raved so much about. He ate so much lángos, that he was doubled over with a gluttonous bellyache.)
Austrian Goulash". Instead of researching recipes, I decided to adapt my familiar recipe into a soup. So, I grabbed my camera and started to get creative. My favorite cut of beef for stews and soups is "Chuck Eye Roast". It's economical and tender. I seared two pounds of it, cut-up, in a few batches.

On October 12, the VLS Dispute Resolution Program hosted the 30th Anniversary Conference, The Mediator and Public Policy, exploring the controversy, current status, and future prospects of mediation in the public arena. The conference brought together John McCrory, Pepperdine University School of Law, Joseph Stulberg, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, and Lawrence Susskind, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, authors of three seminal articles, published in the Vermont Law Review in 1981, that launched a nationwide discussion on the role of mediation in public conflicts.
What does it mean to be an advocate?
Does it mean you win at all costs or are you committed to problem solving? For over 30 years, our Program has produced advocates who are well-rounded and effective at meeting their client's needs. The Dispute Resolution Program at Vermont Law School lets students explore the theoretical and practical aspects of more efficient and cooperative processes for dispute resolution through a variety of courses, conferences, workshops, and research offerings. Students learn basic skills in class, study them in advanced research courses, and learn from practitioners through the semester in practice program. For those looking for intense training in a short period, join us for our summer sessions and learn from leaders from across the country.

Info request on probable phony
Mary at POW Network is asking if there's anyone out there who has served in one of the following units in 2009;
1/4 Cav Iraq
1/9 Cav
27th Cav
Bulldog Company
Black Jack Command Team
Deuce Four Legionaires
Artic Wolves Brigade of the 1st Stryker Btigade Combat Team
25th INF Div
The person she's looking at also claims that his Stryker vehicle was hit by RPG March 7 2009 – injuring all 5 "of his squad." He "returned to American for medical treatment."
He also claims that he went on 66 foot patrols. If you served in one of those units, you'd remember the guy even if you don't remember his name – he's 82 years old. Yeah, I know.

I will make this short and sweat.
I recommend Old Spice because their commercials are moderately humorous, but virtually any speed stick is pretty effective nowadays.
October 6th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
Ray Lewis definitely scares me enough for me to buy any product he endorses.
October 6th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Michigan and Michigan State (with the good guys on top by a mile of course)
October 6th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
Since I'm on Mgoblog right now and the M stands for Michigan, I'm going to guess one is Michigan.
<br>Amazingly, I don't really care who the other team is.
October 6th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
Since it sounds like you have the data, I'm curious...what are the numbers since State joined the Big Ten in the '50s? No doubt that across the board, Michigan Athletics have been more dominant historically than MSU, but it'd be interesting to see a more apples to apples comparison.
October 6th, 2010 at 8:05 PM ^
From 1969...and ironically, the number 16 on the helmet was just there...someone needs to give him dreads (probably need to change his skin color too lol)
October 6th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
I will make this short and sweet.
As of June 2010 these two teams represent the Big Ten in the state of Michigan. Can you guess the two teams?
/s Go Blue!!!!
October 6th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
I thought this was the number we text each week to place our vote for Denard as the Player of the Week

11 displaced after fire in Adams County
No injuries reported
NEW OXFORD, Pa. —
Eleven people are out of their homes Sunday morning after a fire damaged two apartments in Adams County.
The fire was first spotted just before 2 a.m. in the 100 block of Lincoln Way East in New Oxford. The house was split into two apartments and someone on the second floor spotted the fire and got everyone out.
When firefighters got to the home, heavy fire was on the rear porch and the roof. There were no injuries, but the building is destroyed.
The State Police fire marshal is investigating, but firefighters believe the cause was electrical.

As an online college student, you'll spend a substantial amount of time on your computer, posting answers to questions, participating in online discussion, emailing professors and other online activities. Before classes start, it's important to ensure you have access to a reliable computer that meets the requirements of your online college degree program.
Whether you already own a computer or laptop or you're in the market for a new one, here are some points to consider regarding your computer for online school:
Software: You'll need basic word processing software, like Microsoft Office or an equivalent, for writing assignments. Google and OpenOffice.org both offer free word processing programs.
Especially since you'll be on the Internet so frequently, protect your computer from viruses, worms and other nasty malware by installing anti-virus software. The most well-known program is Norton AntiVirus. AVG also offers free anti-virus software.
Your major or degree concentration may require additional software programs. For instance, a computer science or business information systems student will need specialized software. An arts student may need graphic design software like Adobe Creative Suite. Double check with your advisor what additional software programs you might need to purchase in addition to word processing and anti-virus programs.
Hardware: Some of the most important pieces of computer hardware to research are the memory and processor. We recommend at least one but ideally two gigabytes of RAM, short for Random Access Memory. The processor acts as the brain of your computer, and regulates how efficiently your computer will run. Most new computers have a minimum of a 1.25 gigahertz (GHz) processor. If you plan to connect your laptop to the Internet wirelessly, you'll want a wireless internet card. Many new computers come with one pre-installed but you can also purchase one separately and install it yourself.
Accessories: USB flash drives have replaced the floppy disk or CD for storing word processing documents and other files. You can back up your most important school files with a USB flash drive or use it to transfer files onto another computer. You might want to use your local library's computer to print a document off to proofread, for instance.
Internet Access: Having high speed Internet access will allow you to watch video (some online degree programs stream classes live) and browse the Internet without frustration. A DSL or Cable connection is recommended but a minimum 56k modem is generally required.
Desktop or Laptop? If you are shopping for a new computer you might be wondering whether to purchase a desktop or laptop. You can take laptops anywhere but they tend to be more expensive than a desktop. This decision will likely depend on your lifestyle and whether you envision studying in places other than your home.
Many computer and software manufacturers give concessions to college students on their products. If you are buying a new computer or just looking to purchase new software, be sure to ask the retailer about educational discounts and educational versions of software packages.

The fish are known for their deep red hue, high Omega-3 content, incredible quality and the fleet of family fishermen who bring in the harvest.
Cordova, Alaska (PRWEB) May 15, 2014
This morning at 7am, commercial fishermen of the Copper River let their nets into the water to officially kick off the 2014 Alaska salmon season. Each year, salmon lovers nationwide anticipate the first harvest of Copper River kings and sockeyes and the first tastes of fresh wild Alaska salmon.
"The small boat harbor in Cordova is absolutely bustling with activity," said Kim Ryals, the Executive Director for the Copper River/Prince William Sound Marketing Association. "There's no place more exciting on the Alaska coast than Cordova at the start of salmon season. Our tiny town doubles in size in less than a month and all attention turns to the work of bringing in the fish."
Today's 12-hour fishing period will send the first of Copper River salmon to celebrations in Seattle and points beyond. Salmon connoisseurs from Anchorage to New York eagerly await the flavorful legendary fish, and restaurants and seafood counters prepare for the first wave of Alaska salmon to hit the market. "Salmon fans across the nation are wild about fish from our region, and for good reason," added Ryals. "The fish are known for their deep red hue, high Omega-3 content, incredible quality and the fleet of family fishermen who bring in the harvest."
The Copper River and Prince William Sound region is home to generations of fishing families who are proud to make the local harvest their passion and their way of life. Handling each individual fish with care, these artisan fishermen are dedicated to delivering the highest quality product to America's seafood markets.
This year, in addition to events at high-end restaurants and seafood markets, the commercial fishing fleet of the Copper River is also providing for its fellow Alaskans. "A 'First Fish' lunch at Clare House in Anchorage will take place on Saturday, May 17th," said Jeff Olsen, one of the fishermen departing the Cordova harbor. "Members of the fleet and a few of our wives will assist Chef Gerber of the Crow's Nest Restaurant in preparing a special meal for residents. Our fishermen are honored and proud to share the first of our bounty with our neighbors." Clare House provides temporary, emergency 24-hour shelter for women with children and expectant mothers over 18.
After today's inaugural opener, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game will make announcements about future openings, which typically take place on Monday and Thursday mornings.

The popular wisdom has held that obesity after menopause is associated with decline of mental abilities, including memory, language, and thought-processing speed.
But in a study of 300 post-menopausal women included in the Cardiovascular Prevention Program "Corazón Sano," in Argentina, obese participants in the study performed better on three cognitive tests than participants of normal weight – leading researchers to speculate about the role of sex hormones and cognition.
According to the study's lead investigator, Judith M. Zilberman, MD, of the Instituto Cardiovascular de Buenos Aires, these results may be attributable to estrogen stored and released by fat cells.
Dr. Zilberman discussed her team's findings ("Association Between Menopause, Obesity, and Cognitive Impairment"*) Oct 13 at the Physiology of Cardiovascular Disease: Gender Disparities conference, held at the University of Mississippi in Jackson.
The Study
The researchers reviewed the records of 678 women participating in the CVD prevention program. Of this number, 300 (44.3%) were identified as having been post-menopausal for at least 1 year. Of this group, 158 women (52.6%) were also classified as obese either because of their waist circumference or body mass index (BMI). The average age of the women in the group was 59.8 years.
Each of the 300 post-menopausal women took three cognitive tests: The Mini-Mental Statement Examination, a common test for evaluating the global cognitive status, a clock-drawing test to determine the women's executive function (planning, problem-solving, verbal reasoning, etc.); and the Boston Abbreviated Test to assess the women's memory.
• The researchers found that BMI was positively correlated with higher levels of cognition.
• They also found an equal correlation between obesity-related waist circumference and global cognition.
But where does estrogen fit in?
"Where there is increased adipose tissue, there is increased estrogen," said Dr. Zilberman. "My hypothesis is that estrogen may be protective of cognitive function in this case."
According to Dr. Zilberman, the possibility that naturally occurring estrogen from a woman's own fat cells may help preserve cognition flies in the face of current medical advice.
"Based on previous studies, many research institutions have decided against recommending estrogens as a preventive intervention in cognitive impairment or dementia," she said. "That's what makes our findings so important."

Past Events
This past week was full of sweet treats and fun times at Michigan Tech. From Safehouse BINGO and pumpkin carving to engineering caramel apples in the dining hall and a costume party dance, students had festive activities to participate in each evening. Saturday, October 30, was Michigan Tech's annual Safehouse event; students decorated the residence halls for public tours by children and members of the local community.
LeaderShape® Institute
The LeaderShape® Institute—an intensive leadership development experience designed to help students "lead with integrity"—is an incredible opportunity open to Michigan Tech undergraduates. For a week each winter, students have the chance to participate in interactive lectures, hands-on activities, and large and small group discussions. They learn how to be more effective leaders, find out what their leadership style is, and much more. Many students say their favorite part of the experience is getting to know Tech faculty and staff and making great new friends.
LeaderShape® has been a Michigan Tech tradition since 1995, and this year's seventeenth annual institute will be held January 3–8, 2012, at Tech's Ford Center in Alberta, MI. Alberta is approximately 40 miles south of Tech's main campus. The Ford Center's facilities include residential areas for the week's stay, a conference room, a dining hall, and tons of trails to explore and enjoy during free time.
All students are encouraged to apply for LeaderShape®; each year, about 40–60 students are chosen to participate in the institute. There is a minimal cost for attending, but student organizations often sponsor student members who are chosen to go. All transportation, lodging, and meals are provided (students are expected to stay at the Ford Center for the duration of the Institute).
LeaderShape® is definitely the experience of a lifetime, and we hope you'll encourage your student to apply! The application can be found at http://www.sa.mtu.edu/stulife/leadership/leadershape/what_is_leadershape.html. Applications are due by Friday, November 4, and selected participants will be notified within a couple weeks.
Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or suggestions you may have!

It's been about a month since we've mentioned Republic Wireless on Android and Me, when we covered its launch on November 8. Republic Wireless is a new type of cell phone carrier that offers unlimited calls, texts and data for an insanely cheap $19 per month. The $19 per month plan blows most pre-paid and post-paid phone plans out of the water, but there's a fairly significant catch to the service that will prevent the service from being massively adopted.
The service was set up under the assumption that people are around and can connect to WiFi 60% of the time. When connected to WiFi, you can make calls, send text messages and use as much data as you want. When you're connected to a mobile network (Sprint's 3G network), Republic Wireless holds you to what it calls your "Cellular Usage Index (CUI)." The CUI is essentially a fair-use threshold, which limits your cellular network usage to approximately 550 minutes, 150 text messages and 300 MB of data under standard conditions.
Note: The CUI is not hard and fast and will fluctuate based on your usage. The CUI will essentially tie to how much WiFi vs. Cellular you use. If you use WiFi a ton (say the equivalent of 5GB), you'll have much more leeway in your cellular data/minutes. Thanks, maciel310!
If you go over these caps, Republic Wireless will work with you to find ways to lower your cellular usage, and increase the time you spend on WiFi. If you continue your pattern of going over your limits, they can boot you off of their network.
When Republic Wireless launched a month ago, I promised that I'd order a device and report on my experience over a few weeks of the service. What follows are my first impressions after spending just 12 hours with the phone.
The Phone – LG Optimus
I didn't really want to spend too much time talking about the device itself, as my intentions were to review only the service, but felt the phone was worth a mention so you knew what you're getting yourselves into should you choose to join Republic Wireless.
Republic Wireless has only one phone available to date, the entry-level LG Optimus (though they've promised more are coming soon). Though the Optimus is one of the better entry-level devices out there, it doesn't always reflect the best Android experience. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a 600 MHz processor with a 3.2-inch touchscreen. The Optimus also has a 3.2 megapixel camera.
Though not the best device out there, the Optimus has handled all of the day-to-day tasks (email, twitter, facebook, etc.) just fine.
The Service
The primary network Republic Wireless runs on is whatever WiFi network you happen to be connected to. When you're not connected to WiFi, you'll revert to Sprint's 3G network and be limited to the CUI we described above.
When you first turn on your cell phone, you'll be prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Once you do that, the set-up process is over, and you'll have to launch a Google Application (such as Gmail or the Android Market) to log into your Google account. Once you've done both of these things, you should be good to go with your phone.
So far, most things I've done over both WiFi and Sprint's 3G network have gone off without a hitch. I've made a few phone calls, sent a few text messages and done the usual social networking-type things.
I have, however, encountered one significant drawback to the service, which could potentially impact many potential customers: Republic Wireless cannot make WiFi calls on my work's WiFi network. I have worked for two large healthcare companies in the last five years, and both employers set up their networks in the same way. When I want to connect to WiFi at work, I have to connect to our guest network, which requires I launch a browser to accept the terms and conditions on the WiFi network.
After accepting the terms and conditions, WiFi will work for data, and maybe text messages (not sure how to check that just yet), but it won't allow me to make calls over WiFi. Assuming other companies implement WiFi networks in a similar way, that's one-third of most people's day where they can't make calls (and maybe send text messages) over WiFi. This alone could cause people to exceed their cellular usage index and put them at risk for getting booted off the network.
Final Thoughts
Since Republic Wireless is still in a beta phase, we hope that they'll work out these kinks over the next few months. The service does have the potential to be a game-changer, offering cheap cellular coverage to individuals who are able to connect to a WiFi network at least 60% of the time.
We'll be using Republic Wireless as my daily driver for the next few weeks, and will write up a recap of the service in time for Christmas. What do you guys want to know? Leave your questions or thoughts in the comments.

I have purchased both the front and rear floor mats for my new Pontiac Torrent. I am very pleased with the products. They have a perfect fit at all locations and are of high quality. The texture of fabric is rich and soft, and I am sure is to be long-lasting. I highly recommend these mats for purchase. Carol
